Thread Starter | Question regarding stepdown transformer
Hey guys, This is my first post, hope its in the right section. I live in Australia with 240V AC. I have just aquired a mint roland Space Echo RE-101. The catch is, it is from Japan. The back of the space echo is labelled as such: Input: 100V AC 50/60hz 15W I have found the following step-down transformer...but I am not sure if its suitable or not: Step Down Transformer 2pin: USA, Japan & Others to AU: Korjo by Korjo Travel Accessories - #SDT98 : Travel Universe Quote:
AFAIK Japanese mains is 110V AC....so if this was used in the past in Japan, I figure it can surely run on 110V (even though its back plate says 100V AC)....but is 115V going to be running too much power through it? I figure its better to ask now instead of risking frying it...its too damn mint to risk destroying. Any help appreaciated thanks guys

HI, I have a Japanese RE-501, love the Japanes instruction sheet under the lid... I run mine on a 115V step down in Australia with no problems, and I got it from a Japanese musician living here who had also been running it on the same one for years with no hassles. cheers. |
